If you're talking about social distancing, that's on capitalism to figure out how to work around them. No one's banned an entire ideology or its mechanisms.pic.twitter.com/gWjmQnWqDb

We should figure it out. With all the tech on our hands. Just another way for capitalism and creativity to work harder the way I see it. We've been forced to think in more capitalist ways if anything, just on a tighter timeline.2 replies 0 retweets 9 likes -

Might come off as smug and I've zero skin in the game but I'd immediately seek rent leniency to buy time and then take the art/lessons/viewing online or try and liquidate some of the collection (also, an art studio should ideally have a few months' cash on hand for slow periods)

I think people primarily working in software don't always understand markets that are super low-margin, deal with unusual kinds of inventory, rely on certain kinds of buyer activity/events, etc. What's simpler to understand is that not a lot of people are buying art online rn.

I'm sure somebody will figure out a super creative way to move art online and get the Buzzfeed article that keeps them afloat. But this, like being the weird chick who points with her nipples or whatever, is a gimmick and not a market adaptation
